Recently got an offer for salesforce sales strategy (105K TC) vs Morgan Stanley IB Strategy (135K TC). Salesforce will be 40-50 hours a week remote until 2022 and then will have a hybrid working model, most likely going in office 2-3 times a week vs Morgan Stanley will be on average 60 hours a week in office full time. Is it worth the 30K extra in compensation to commute to office daily + 10-20 more hours per week? In terms of pay progression, I think Morgan Stanley will definitely be a lot fast

This is dependent on the person so it’s really up to what you value. I personally value flexibility and personal time so I’d go with Salesforce no doubt. Also, any job where the norm is 60 hours may very well end up being more.

Salesforce for sure. MS has bad reputation for WLB!

Figure out what your hourly rate would be between the 2 jobs. Morgan Stanley hours are more likely to be 75-80 hours a week plus weekends. So consider it more that Morgan Stanley would be like working 2 $67.5k jobs. Also, you’re unlikely to have time for friends, relationships, etc and you’d be part of a bro culture in IB. If that’s what your prefer, go for it. There are some who really thrive in that kind of environment.

Which bulge bracket?

This is a no brainer. Salesforce.

Unless your dream is to work in an industry with so little regard for human life.

Since MS seems not to be a FO role, go to Salesforce and do not look back
